Hello! I’m Michael Skinnider, a web designer and developer from Victoria, BC.
I’m an award-winning web and design aficionado with a passion for great design. I’m always eager to jump into exciting projects, and I bring experience, hard work and enthusiasm to every one I’m involved in. I strive for simplicity, clean code, and strong typography. Here’s some of my work:
I created a comprehensive identity package for INNA, a Canadian start-up which specializes in filtering pharmaceuticals out of the water supply. I designed a logo, business cards, letterhead, and a number of print documents. I also designed and developed their corporate website, and assembled a manual of graphic standards to ensure font and color schemes were used consistently on company documents.
I was tasked with redesigning Quiet Revolutions’ website and online store in a short time frame and without modifying the site’s framework. I replaced their cluttered homepage and confusing navigation with an intuitive layout, centered around a bold, simple heading and their four categories of electric bike products.
I designed a website showcasing the heritage architecture, fresh ingredients, and innovative menu of the Oak Bay Bistro using colors inspired by the restaurant’s interior.
“Love the look! Keep up the fantastic work, the design is perfect! I really think you’ve captured the essence of the Bistro. It really is wonderful work.”

Designed and developed the website of Kubik Creative, a Canadian collective of designers and developers with a passion for innovation in design, clean code, and branding. This HTML5 project involved a single-page website, including portfolio, and a styled project planning form. It also included the design of business cards and letterhead.
